Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Admission Ticket

Gina_S, Apr 2026

Great views

We spent the day with our kids, it was a great time. To avoid lines maybe go later in the afternoon, we got there right when it opened and waited for a bit to get into the parking area but it was well worth it. Everyone was friendly, and of course the views up and down were amazing!!!

San Diego Whale/Dolphin Watching Cruise Aboard Luxury Vessel

EhigieYahaya_E, Mar 2026

The best ever whale watching

The was the best experience ever. The boat itself was excellent, handle the waves well, none of the motion sickness, they have special stabilizers, toilets were clean, staff were super knowledgeable, pro and classy. I think one is a marine biologist, full of pertinent facts. We must have spotted over 10 whales, about 5 species and a pod of playful dolphins and other wild life. This was the best ever. Whale watching of a lifetime. 5000 percent recommended. Did I say the boat crew was the absolute best. Would do this again in a heartbeat, such value for money

Best birthday gift

Great experience! Best birthday gift! Seeing the beautiful sunrise and views. Our pilot was Mateo and he was awesome! The ride was not scary at all in fact it was smooth and safe. Worth doing this activity if you are considering. My partner was afraid of heights but once we started going up the fear went away. Again great experience!

Awesome

One of the best tours I have ever done. The guide (I think Brendan) was hilarious. The best thing about it is also what I'd warn people of: you will see A LOT. There are several stops, including some more than an hour. By the time you will A. feel like you get SanFran, and B. be exhausted. But that's how I like to travel, so you do you! Overall, it was amazing.

Temecula Wine Tour - 3 Wineries Guided By Local Experts

Cricea_L, Mar 2026

What an unforgettable birthday celebration for my mom! 🍷🎉

A huge thank you to Poppin Wine Tours for the incredible Temecula Wine Tour – 3 Wineries Guided Experience. Giving our designated driver the day off and hopping on the party bus was the best decision. From the moment we boarded, Calvin had the music going and the energy high, making the ride through Temecula Wine Country just as fun as the wineries themselves. Our stops were absolutely beautiful: 🍇 Falkner Winery – one of the most scenic views in Temecula Valley and the perfect start to the day. 🍷 Maurice Car’rie Winery & Vineyards – a charming stop with great tastings and a wonderful atmosphere. 🍾 Somerset Vineyard and Winery – an amazing finale with multiple tastings and a behind-the-scenes wine tour experience. A special shoutout to Calvin, who was the absolute best host we could have asked for. He kept the party bus fun, the music going, and made sure everyone was safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Professional, energetic, and truly first-class service from start to finish. And to the talented singer who made my mom feel extra special by singing Happy Birthday — thank you for adding such a memorable and heartfelt moment to her celebration. 🎤🎂 Great wine, great music, amazing hosts, and unforgettable memories. Cheers to an elevated experience in Temecula Wine Country! 🍇🥂 #TemeculaWineTour #PoppinWineTours #WineCountryExperience #BirthdayCelebration #Grateful

La Jolla Sea Caves Kayak Tour (Single Kayak)

KATHLEEN_S, Mar 2026

Lots of waves!

Bring towels and dry clothes to store in lockers. You will get wet! Brody and Luka were great today! It was a rough day but they were informative and so helpful. I was impressed that Brody got out of his kayak with fins so that he could help those who wanted to enter the cave could as it was very rough. Also they were amazingly helpful getting us all into shore though I think all of us capsized! Still a fun experience!

La Jolla Sea Caves Kayak Tour For Two (Tandem Kayak)

Crystal_V, Mar 2026

The best experience from our trip!

This was the coolest experience from my trip to San Diego. I will note we had 77 degree sunny weather the day we went and the waters were pretty still. I think this really helped make our experience as great as it was. I am by no means athletic and I had a slight fear of the ocean. And I was able to do this tour. Our tour guides were Brodie and Ryan and they were incredibly knowledgeable, they did a good job at helping everyone, and were pretty funny. We definitely appreciated having them as our tour guide pair. The experience was scheduled to be approximately 1 1/2 hours but it lasted closer to 2 hours, which was perfectly fine with us. We got to see leopard sharks, sea lions, and plenty of other small fish. I definitely recommend it if you are looking for something fun to do.

The hot air balloon ride was such a fun experience from start to finish. The staff was funny and very professional. They helped with instructions, what to expect, pictures, and kept everyone entertained while preparing the balloon. This place should be on everyone’s must do list while in Temecula.

San Diego Zoo 1-Day Pass: Any Day Ticket

George, Jan 2026

Great zoo experience. My...

Great zoo experience. My advice if you want to se the giant pandas is to get there as soon as it opens and “bee tail” it straight over because if you don’t, you’ll wait in a 1-2 hour line to see them. The parking lot fills up fast too. Other than that, we had an excellent experience.

Yellow Semi-Submarine Tour of Catalina Island From Avalon

Jeanne_B, Dec 2025

The best way to see the local Catalina sea life without a wetsuit!

Marcus and Dave were great! I highly recommend buying the 8-pack of fish food - the fish KNOW it's there and you'll see SO MANY more fish if you participate! Marcus gave us a lot of interesting information about the local sea life and was very friendly - he offered to take photos of us in the sub, which was really nice, and we now have pics of us with a window full of fish behind us - so cool! This is a must-do when visiting Catalina, whether you're on a date, with kids, or with a group of friends/coworkers.
